Empathetic Woman Lyrics

Don't tell me how it's hard to be a woman As a man, I got problems every day Folks treat me like a beggar from the minute I get up Except when it comes time to pay And I'm the one responsible if anything goes wrong And I never get the the credit if a thing turns out okay They ignore me when I'm weak, they hate me if I'm strong Till I'm praying I can make it through the day (Chorus) I stumble home at night like the loser of a fight But an empathetic woman could set the whole day right An empathetic woman to be there and understand I've been hungry so long for an empathetic woman I ain't no saint, I'm willing to admit it Even my own brothers think I'm strange Don't take me long to drive a normal woman to her limit And I've been this way too long to change I got the kind of attitude that makes a bad time worse When I steal a moment's pleasure, I feel guilty as a thief If you met my folks you'd know that I'm a victim of a curse It's no wonder I'm out chasing sweet relief (Chorus)
